Build:

Share-A-Labeouf

 

 

So at my high school in Woonsocket, Rhode Island we have a Vocational School that offers many programs, one of which is Information Technology and Game Design. I'm currently enrolled in that program and I brought up the idea to my teacher that we should build a NAS so that we can share files with each other much more quickly regardless of the state of the internet (some days it works, some days it doesn't). He said sure but I had to use only the components we had lying around, I also needed to design a case and work with the construction class to build it, and then set up the software.

 

Specs:

Pentium D @ 2.8Ghz, 2GB's DDR2 RAM @533Mhz, 250GB WD Blue Primary Drive @7200RPM, 20x 120GB WD Black's @7200RPM (RAID 10), 2x 350W Dell PSU's)

 

Case Design:

I've gone with a very minimal and clean design to this case, with plenty of airflow and space for expansion.

Building the case:

Coming Soon

 

Performance Analysis:

Feel free to follow this post if you want to see some pictures on how it's going as well as performance tests once it's complete.

Are you serious? What are the speeds? Also this case is being made from wood so your name would totally be put on it.

Mu current network drives are running off an LGA 775 Pentium D platform. Even with Windows Server 2008, it runs fine without performance issues.
